parallel-plate capacitor is made of two square plates 25 cm on a side and 1.0 mmapart. The capacitor is connected to a 50.0-V ba

ttery. With the battery still connected,the plates are pulled apart to a separation of 2.00 mm. What are the energies stored inthe capacitor before and after the plates are pulled farther apart? Why does the energydecrease even though work is done in separating the plates.

Answer:

6.9 x 10^-7 J  

3.5 x 10^-7 J

Explanation:

<u>Identify the unknown:  </u>

The energies stored in the capacitor before and after the plates are pulled farther apart  

<u>List the Knowns: </u>

Voltage of the battery: V = 50 V

Area of the plates: A = 0.25 x 0.25 = 0.0625 m^2

Original distance between the plates: d = 1 mm = 10^-3 m

New distance between the plates: d = 2 mm = 2 x 10^-3 m

Permittivity of free space: ∈o = 8.85 x 10^-12 C^2/Nm^2-

<u>Set Up the Problem:   </u>

Capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor:  

C=∈o*A/d

Energy stored in a capacitor:  

U_c=(1/2)*V^2*C

<u>Solve the Problem:   </u>

<u>Before the plates are pulled farther apart:  </u>

C = 8.85 x 10^-12 x 0.0625/10^-3 = 5•53 x 10^-10 F  

U_c = (1/2) x (50)^2 x 5.53 x 10^-10= 6.9 x 10^-7 J  

<u>After the plates are pulled farther apart:  </u>

C = 8.85 x 10^-12 x 0.0625/2*10^-3 = 2•77 x 10^-10 F  

U_c = (1/2) x (50)^2 x 2•77 x 10^-10 = 3.5 x 10^-7 J  

The energy decrease because the capacitance decrease, so the stored charge decrease and transferred to the battery

You throw a basketball and a tennis ball across the classroom so that each ball has the exact same momentum. Explain how this is
Helga [31]

Answer:

It is possible by increasing the speed of the tennis ball by a factor of (Mass of the tennis ball)/(Mass of the basketball)

Explanation:

The momentum of a body = The bod's mass × The body's velocity

Therefore, the momentum of a given mass of an object, such as a tennis ball can be increased by increasing the velocity or speed of the object. Whereby the speed of the ball, v₁, is increased such that the momentum of the basketball and the tennis ball will be the same, is given by the following equation

Mass of the basketball × v₂ = Mass of the tennis ball × v₁

Therefore, v₁/v₂ = (Mass of the tennis ball)/(Mass of the basketball)

alisha [4.7K]
<span>If you think about it, changing the scale to which something is measured does not affect the repeatability of the measurement. For instance, if you have a meter stick which was labeled incorrectly, that doesn't affect the fact that every measurement you take of a certain fixed distance will still be the same. Precision does not equal accuracy.</span>
